Chapter 136: People born in the dark times
"I just want to kill you two, or be killed by you two."
Li Yun's script reading went smoothly . Of course, it went smoothly mainly because most of the literary scenes were with Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu, the golden pair of landlord and landlady.
When Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu were reading together, they were also a little surprised by Li Yun's performance. It seemed that the young actor in front of them was more capable than he looked.
That 'crazy' feeling.
Killed two of them.
Or be beaten to death by the two of them, there is no other choice.
That kind of crazy background revealed in his eyes.
This young man has something. No wonder Master Xing chose him as the 'Fire Cloud Evil God'.
When they were here, Yuanhua and Yuanqiu actually felt relieved.
Li Yun's current performance is actually comparable to Yang Xiaolong's.
It is not much inferior.
What a pity.
He is a bit more handsome.
Even if he dresses up as ugly as Yang Xiao Long, he won't be ugly enough to be funny. This can also be considered a kind of handsome appearance. Disadvantage?
After a final reading.
Master Xing held the script and looked at Li Yun indifferently.
Li Yun was also looking at Stephen Chow.
There is a madness in his eyes, a tendency towards self-destruction.
This is the Fire Cloud Evil God that Li Yun completely imitated from the evil young man. His "self-destructive tendency".
Faced with such acting skills, Stephen Chow just said lightly.
“On the surface.”
"Master Xing didn't curse me this time," Yang Xiaolong said with a little surprise.
For Stephen Chow, this kind of evaluation is superficial.
This is already a very gentle comment, if the reading is not going well.
At least he is a Cantonese quintessence.
At this time, Yuan Hua touched his chin and said, "After all, it was brought in by Master Xing from outside, so it must have its unique features."
“Okay, good, keep it up.”
Yuanhua patted Li Yun on the shoulder to show encouragement.
At this time, Li Yun also smiled.
But I still remember Master Xing’s comments.
Superficially explicit This is a very sharp statement. However, Mr. Xing's attitude also shows that Li Yun's performance was at least within his expectations, without any surprises or shocks.
That's it.
at this time.
Li Yun sat in the corner of this Pig Cage Village.
The mottled years emerge here.
This is a super-large slum built in imitation of the 'Kowloon Walled City'.
It is a little different from the real Kowloon Walled City. After all, this is a fictional place, and there are gangs like the 'Axe Gang' that once appeared in the history of Tianhai Magic City.
The two blend together.
But overall it still follows the characteristics of Kowloon Walled City.
Cramped and poor.
Although the depressing characteristics of Kowloon City have been removed.
But it can still be seen in this era.
The living environment of the poor.
What kind of era is this?
Kung Fu background.
It should be a fictional background created by combining Shanghai and Hong Kong during the Republic of China period.
In an era of decadence and extravagance, the protagonist of Kung Fu actually wanted to become a superior person at the beginning.
But all this extravagance and decadence do not belong to the protagonists, nor to the people in the walled city.
So he wanted to oppress the city and become a member of the Axe Gang, hoping to become the superior one.
But in the end, Ah Xing is still kind by nature.
But. This era.
Are there really many people who maintain the so-called kindness? There is still some time before the launch.
The reading continues.
Although Li Yun is the number one villain.
But as a 'comedy'.
Li Yun's role is not to present the comedy effect of this movie. The comedy effect and jokes are mainly provided by the early plot, provided by "Jenny", "Jiang Bao", "Landlord" and "Landlady" . Even the Axe Gang members provide jokes.
Li Yun is more of a one-man show, a crazy guy who plays a one-man show.
This is actually why Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu felt that Li Yun was not suitable for the role of Fire Cloud Evil God at the beginning. He had many one-man shows - he was alone, without acting with others, and presented himself to the camera. This was a big test for the actor's skills. But now.
The lunatic with a "self-destructive tendency" can be presented. In fact, it is already the standard for "Fire Cloud Evil God" to be on the screen.
Not to mention how good it can be.
But at least, this is a way of expression that will not be criticized on the big screen. Li Yun's presence gradually became low.
I often stare at my thin scripts and tear them apart. What's so good about these few thin scripts?
"Turning things over, what can you find out?" At this time, Jiangbao whispered to Sister Jenny next to him.
Big Mouth Jenny even looks a bit like Joey Wong when she is not making herself look ugly. She is also a rare beauty character in the crew.
After all, the female characters are only the landlady and Sister Jenny. Huang Shengyi shot a few scenes and left without participating in the reading. His character didn't even have any lines, so there was no need for a reading.
But no one dared to think about someone with connections like Huang Shengyi.
"He is the leading villain in the crew, after all. How can we supporting actors compare to him? He must be different from us."
To be honest, Jenny was a little envious.
Very young.
He became the leading villain in Stephen Chow's films.
What good luck!
At this time, Li Yun made a decision to stay in this Pig Cage City tonight to get a feel for it.
It is not possible to portray the character well with just a few thin scripts.
You have to give full play to your subjective initiative.
At this time, Yuan Hua was surprised when he heard Li Yun's request.
"Aren't you going back?"
"I'll stay here for a while, then I'll get a better feel for it."
"Okay then, be careful."
"You should be careful along the way, Mr. Yuan."
At this time, Li Yun was the only one left in this built pig cage fortress.
The wind is cold and bleak in the huge Pig Cage Village.
Li Yun looked around.
What kind of person is Huoyun Evil God?
How did this era create the Fire Cloud Evil God?
The Axe Gang was created.
Li Yun was holding a thin script in his hand.
"Ye Tian Hai, Ye Tian Hai."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
When Li Yun opened his eyes.
But he found himself in front of a nightclub.
It is a place in stark contrast to Pig Stable Village, where beauties in cheongsams come and go in this place of feasting and revelry.
There is a beggar's den next to me, and I hope I can get a little food and a piece of clothing to survive the winter.
Men and women in the nightclub wore coats and scarves made of real animal leather and used money to light their cigars.
Not far away were the Axe Gang members wearing black suits and holding axes, fighting for territory with the Cao Gang.
There are three kinds of people in this small place.
The poor, the rich, the evil.
The better-off poor people could live in Pig Stable City, while the worse-off poor people could only sleep in the open and go hungry.
The evil ones are rampant and tyrannical. Among their people there are both rich and poor people. The poor ones are responsible for fighting and killing, while the rich ones are responsible for sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight.
The poor are like dogs, fighting for the benefit of the rich.
Use your own weapon to disembowel your opponent.
Occasionally.
Rich people would also spend a dollar or two to bet on which person or gang would win. They did this for fun and to make beautiful women smile.
This is the era.
In the Republic of China era, people hated dogs.
At this moment, Li Yun's mind was still very clear.
The self is still there.
"In the past, I always had some ignorant dreams about the Republic of China era, thinking that I was a young lady or a warlord's wife, and I could meet a lovelorn warlord or a gang boss. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
At this moment, Li Yun looked at himself.
I also find it amazing.
This time, when I was copying the Fire Cloud Evil God, I was able to clear my mind.
I can appear in the dream from the perspective of knowing that I am Li Yun.
It's really an amazing feeling.
Although I don’t know why.
But at this moment, Li Yun raised his foot and walked out.
"Get the hell out of here and don't compete with me for territory." At this moment, Li Yun suddenly felt a strong force coming at him and was kicked out by one foot.
The man was not satisfied after kicking Li Yun away and continued beating him until Li Yun was in pain all over and could not stand up.
By the way, who am I now?
I was the Fire Cloud Evil God when I was a child.
Standing at the crossroads of life.
Look at the poor, look at the rich, look at the evil.
The large vest and shorts with the Chinese logo on them had long since rotted, turned black and smelled bad.
I am not one of the rich. The rich only play with people like me from a high position. Li Yun heard that the rich man in the nightclub was trying to make the beauty smile. He pointed at himself and bet a dollar with his friends whether this kid can survive the night.
They are not considered poor either, because even with this condition, they are not qualified to be poor, they cannot become a labor force, and even beggars cannot compete with others.
I am not a bad person now. How can a person who has trouble being a beggar be a bad person? I will soon become a dead person.
A starving man.
At this moment, Li Yun was looking at the glass mirror on the side of the road.
Skinny figure.
Three hairs on the top of the head.
Sunken eye sockets.
Wandering on the streets, without a father or a mother, with no one paying attention to me, I can clearly feel that death is approaching.
What an amazing feeling.
Yes, that's the feeling of being near death.
My broken body is gradually approaching death.
The feeling is so real and so strong.
And the indifference of others is so real, he really exists here.
Exists around Li Yun and exists in this era.
"Is this what dying feels like? No, haven't I died once? This feeling shouldn't be familiar to me."
Li Yun murmured that he was savoring this feeling and even recalled the time when he was on the verge of death in his previous life.
"Here it comes, I really feel it, that's right, it should be like this. If I don't feel the character's suffering and his feeling of death, how can I play him well?"
The approaching feeling of death even made Li Yun a little excited.
The feeling of death and the desire to survive lingered before my eyes, and the biting cold wind cut and twitched the surface of my skin.
Death and the desire to survive.
Both feelings are very strong.
Under this feeling.
Li Yun felt that he could do anything.
This is the most instinctive desire.
What do you want to do now?
All the desires in my mind, everything, everything, everything, turned into a desire to survive.
The biological instinct for survival.
"Do you want to live?"
